Pain & Palliative Clinic

Pain and palliative care clinics play an important role in improving the quality of life for patients with cancer by addressing pain management, symptom prevention, psychosocial support, and end-of-life care. Pain & palliative treatment is the mainstay of treatment in stage 3 & stage 4 cancer, though It provides support in stage 1 & stage 2 cancer. Thus, our specialty hospitals provide comprehensive care to alleviate suffering, increase comfort, and provide patients and their families hope throughout the cancer journey with a focus on support.

In addition to pain killer   medicines, now we offer latest & safest minimally – invasive pain interventions, which are most advanced treatments globally.
